Unicorn Spa Jar

This Unicorn Spa Jar is for the girly girls is your life who love all things sparkly and colorful. They can use the fun gift in a jar to have a spa day. These mason jars would be perfect for a girls birthday party! I was planning to share this jar last week with the rest of the mason jar gifts but I ended up getting sick and couldn’t share. But the Unicorn Spa Jar was so cute that I had to share it this week instead.

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Stir in fragrance oil and water. (The amount of water needed will depend on the humidity of your house.)

Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk. The mixture should start clumping on the whisk.

Scoop up some of the mixture and squeeze it in your hand to see if a ball will form. If it does, the bath bomb mixture is ready. If not, spritz the mixture lightly with water, whisk and check again. Continue spritzing and mixing until the mixture is slightly damp and will clump together. Again, this will vary depending on your climate.

Divide the mixture into four bowls. Color the mixture in three of the bowls with a tiny dab food coloring.

Sprinkle some edible glitter stars in each of the two halves of the bath bomb mold.

Spoon some of each color of the bath bomb mixture into each half of the mold and pack it in with your fingers. Add more of the bath bomb mixture, overfilling it and lightly pack with fingers. Then, tightly press the two halves together.

Carefully remove the mold from the bath bomb. Gently tap the mold if needed.

Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. I was able to make three small bath bombs.

Allow the bath bombs to dry uncovered. This will take a minimum of 24 hours.

My daughter and I have started the process of making these as party favors for her 11th birthday party in Dec. We are starting in advance since we have 11 to make! It is the first year that she will have a party separate from her twin brother and she thought a spa would be fun. Your jars are just perfect!

There is a debate as to whether the tiny amount of sugar dissolved in an entire bathtub of water would result in a level of sugar that would cause a yeast infection. That said, you could try coloring epsom salts with a mixture of colored mica and 91% alcohol, then letting it dry before using. Make sure you purchase mica that says on the label “safe for lips.” You can get it from a soapmaker supply house online. Or try grating the colored soaps into tiny pieces. I have also just seen soap sprinkles for sale at Michael’s. Finally, you could use some of the bath bomb mix and color it different colors, then lightly toss it all together. Don’t mix well or you will end up with a mud color.
